Mahama’s directive for probe into suspicious flights was in order but… – Abu Jinapor

Damango Member of Parliament (MP) Samuel Abu Jinapor praised President John Mahama. He commended Mahama for quickly directing an investigation into suspicious flights. These flights are linked to money laundering and drug trafficking.

In an interview on Asempa FM's Ekosii Sen, Jinapor expressed support for the President’s actions. He said, “I believe all Ghanaians supported the directive because it was in the right direction.” He noted that the drug trade involves sophisticated cartels that can evade government detection.

Rev. Ntim Fordjour sparked debate by alleging two flights landed in Ghana. The AirMed flight NH23AM and Cavok Air private jet Antonov AN 12 B allegedly carried cocaine and cash between March 20 and March 25, 2025.

Jinapor suggested that the President might not have known about these flights until Fordjour spoke out. He explained, “Some people manage to evade arrest or get out of custody.” This makes it possible that the President was unaware before Fordjour's public statement.

In response to Felix Kwakye Ofosu, who dismissed the probe as a waste of time, Jinapor raised questions. He asked why the MP for Abura Asebu Kwamankes would reject the President’s directive. “Felix came to dismiss the probe, stating it will be a waste of our time,” he said.

Jinapor emphasized that a thorough investigation is necessary to uncover the truth. He pointed out that there are many theories about why these flights landed in Ghana but no comprehensive investigation yet.

Meanwhile, Twum Barimah, Deputy Director of NACOC, urged Rev. Fordjour to cooperate with investigations. In an interview with Joy News, Barimah stressed that Fordjour’s cooperation is crucial for apprehending those involved in this case.
